He kept us within 5 mile radius of the cruise ship, we saw clearing in the clouds for a few moments maybe 20 to 25 minutes- only Stars in the sky.Other than that it was cloudy and starting to rain.

“I had an amazing experience on the Northern Lights tour! Lilija was absolutely fantastic—her knowledge and passion for the aurora made the experience even more special. She was incredibly patient, taking us to several locations to ensure we had the best chance of seeing the lights, and her determination paid off—we saw them in all their glory! Lilija navigated the snowy roads with ease, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. To top it all off, the hot chocolate provided was delicious and a perfect treat on such a cold night. This tour was unforgettable, and I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you, Lilija, for making it so…”

“The experience was amazing. Reynir picked us up at the hotel and drove us outside the town to escape light pollution. Though the sky was mostly clouded, he found a couple of cloudless spots. Shortly after parking, the aurora showed up and were able to see it for about half hour, until the clouds covered them. All this while having hot chocolate and Icelandic doughnuts.”
